  1. I can't be of any help OP, but good luck! In the UK the circuit pack variant can be had for around £33500 (~1.47m Baht), just goes to show the crazy price hikes in Thailand! Sounds like you've got your heart set on this car only, but I'd definitely consider an A45 AMG. I've got a 2017 C63 AMG back in London which I miss dearly, if only there was a way to bring it over to Thailand (except in a million pieces!)
  2. I was in a similar situation when I bought mine (Seller in the South). Made them fly to Bangkok - if they wanted rid of the property then a 1500 baht flight shouldn't be a problem at all and would save a lot of headache with power of attorneys, etc.
  3. Thank you all for the replies. I bit the bullet and just went for it and..... nothing happened! Went through various police stops but just waved through every time. Had to stop at Phitsanulok for a snooze though! The road from Phitsanulok to Singburi is currently half under construction and awful (very rough terrain single lane traffic) , so upon my return I may go the Phetchabun road although it might be even slower. Anyone gone that way? (Bangkok to Chiang Rai)
  4. Just to weigh in and give my 2p as I have just collected one of the 7AT ones. Quality and ride seems a lot better compared to older Navara's I have driven (even with the stupid wheels I put on it!). I was also looking at the Revo Mid and Isuzu Hi-Landers, but bang for buck the Nissan came with more toys such as the 360 cam. My feelings may change once i get more miles under it, but I'd say it is worth considering. I wasn't a fan of the original look so I altered mine a little bit prior to collection (each to their own!)
  5. Potentially a silly/pointless question, and I know it's not allowed - but I do often see red plated cars driving at night. Anyone had personal experience of ramifications if stopped by the police? Most Thais I speak to are either unaware of the law or tell me not to worry! I have picked up my new truck in Chiang Rai and have been given a little log book to fill in which allows me to leave the province, I'd like to drive to Bangkok but would prefer to drive at night just to get the long haul out of the way. Just weighing up to see if it's worth it or not(!)
  6. Thank you for the replies My predicament is exactly as mentioned here already - I can't knock the Thai locals for their entrepreneurial spirit, but there seems to be too many "agents" (read: an individual operating on line only), so I was hoping someone who had used a decent company before could recommend them. Perfect - I'll give them a shout. Thanks!
  7. Apologies first if this breaks any forum rules. As per the title, I have a condo in BKK that I'm currently mildly renovating, but all going well it will ready to be inhabited very shortly. Can anyone recommend an agent who can deal with advertising, finding a tenant, sorting the contracts etc who offers a reasonable fee? I'm based in London so I can't really manage everything from here. Thank you
  8. Yep, not sure if that' a reflection of the current rental/covid situation, the age of the condo or a mix of both. And without trying to stereotype, I have a picture in my mind of what the neighbours might be like ????
  9. I've found a place i'm very interested in about 650m from BTS Ekkamai (37sq.m and a 2013 development) for ~3m - although there are a few other places further down the BTS line (Phra Khanong onwards) with (shoebox ~28sq.m) sized studios. Away from the BTS there is a lot for sale in Suapalai Park Asoke-Ratchada (MRT Rama 9) but I'm not a big fan of huge high rise condominiums. My aunt owns a nice condo at the far end of Sukhumvit Soi 4 (no giggling at the back), she thinks that one of the old Saranjai Mansion condos down Sukhumvit 6 Alley could be good (they are available from ~2.7m upwards), but they look ancient to me, and although very close to Nana BTS the area isn't really my bag. But, she is a Thai and supposedly knows what to look for, but who knows
  10. Interesting reading, don't really want to start a new thread but I'm actually looking to buy a condo at the moment in Bangkok (and hopefully taking advantage of the buyers market situation). Just a small (3m baht) 1 bedroom room that can either be used sparingly or rented. I know the saying "if you don't ask you don't get", but does anyone have any experience with buying at this price point and the "discounts" to be had? ie if I were to offer 2.9-3.0m for a 3.5m condo would that be pushing it a little?
